that he was an insane man, and for half
a minute | shut my eyes and had the
hardest kind of fight to keep from
fainting away. When l opened them
he was regarding me with cunning
leer, and directly he said:
"You think you will run away from
school, but shall have my eyes on you
all the time. School will now begin"
He went to my desk and lang the
handbell in a vigorous manner, picked
up ruler and book, and then, stand
ing in front of the desk he, said to me:

unicorn he pronounced it ''cornuni"

and began to spell it in a proper way he
interrupted me with:
Stop The world has been going on
too fast for the last fifty years, and must
stop, or be thrown off its axis. We
must 60 backward where we can"
In pursuance Of his theory he pro-
nounced the word "fufiI" as "fiful,"
and l humorcd him by spelling words
that way. After about half an hour he
laid the book down, complimenting me
on my smartucss, and during a recess of
five minutes he walked up and down the
floor, with his head down and his arms
behind him, like one in deep thought.
Thus far he had betrayed no temper nor

WEDNESDAY. JUNE Is, 1887.
COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
AN UNDEvELOPED INDUSTRY.

We have heretofore called attention
to all enterprise which could be made
profitable in this State, and it seems
strange that some one does not take
hold of it, as we feel assured that the
business would yield ample returns on
the Investment. We allude to the Gull
tivation of hops for market.
The cultivation of barley. which q
few years since proved profitable in
dustry, is attended with SO much eX-
pcnse and prices are SO low that there is
now but little net profit in it's produc-
ton; and any soil which will produce
grain will be found available for the
growth OF II luxuriun! crop Of hops, the
profits from which would exceed that of
1t grain crop more than four fold, and in
many localities which are not adapted
to the successful cultivation of grain on
account of the low temperature, such as
the valley of the Humboldt, hop vines
grow rapidly and produce abundantly,
M instance of which is found in this
t,wn where numerous hop vines are
cultivated for shade.
In former article we gave our reas-
ons, which it is not necessary to repeat
here, for claiming that Nevada grown
hops would be more valuable than those
produced in other localities, and as it is
to the interest of every citizen that
every available resource of the State
should be fully developed, we hope that
some enterprising rancher will try the
experiment, on n small scale Mt first if
thought advisable, of cultivating for
market crop Of hops. There is no
danger that the market will fail, for SO
long as the people drink beer, land the
custom will never become eXtinct,) SO
long will there be good market for
hops.
